BBC Radio 1 - 1997: The love edition
Can't believe that so many seminal Noel & Liam quotes are from the very same interview, either Noel's life + music crisis poured it all out of him, or the good moments are just indeed that good BTS.
Naturally, they were (allegedly) drunk. Liam wasn't supposed to show up but he changed his mind last minute, my headcanon is that he missed Noel judging from how well they got along that day.
I'm very friendly to my bed, I love my bed, and my bed loves me.
(Interviewer says Liam only gets better, Noel complains Liam doesn't show up for B sides recordings, Liam says he had a sore throat, and somehow, this comes to this.)
Love-love-love. Liam twists exhibition (oasis photo thing) into expedition and Noel's bullying turns into a live fantasy of marching down the south pole wastelands together to build heart shaped igloos, also Liam's shy. And fighting for his life.
There we have it, a recorded (half) confession.
Okay so here I find the "as long as ... for a couple of quids" holds some meaning as Noel goes a little rigid saying no. Can't ever meant this. but I can't for the life of me understand Liam.
Also Liam clears out that inspiration entails for him listening and understanding him without rushing into ill-made judgments and it's palpable he's at his limits with the media. Coincidentally the day after this interview he was tracked down by journalists, asking him if he had regrets over what he said, because apparently he swore too much and had people clutch on their pearls all over the UK.
Supersonic quote but in full. Mad for it, Noel says.
I'll be a really good uncle to Liam's child.
I could sum this one up with Pardon? but -- "that man is a bigger man than I am, why, it has nothing to do with you, but he has to deal with life and with somebody like me on top of everything else" yet by the end of that year it had all gone to flames. Also audio proof they did give each other birthday presents, not lost on me this one.
Noel truly cares about Liam's opinion but won't show it (nothing new ik) However that giggle at the end has my wonders.
Bonus:
In the honour of a 2024 magazine article deeply regretting Liam's menacing aura and rock n roll attitude from 1997
And, if anyone can possibly make out what Liam says Noel is pointing his way, this one maxed out my comprehension skills:

I had a nightmare, it was pretty bad but unfortunately all I can remember is that I fell asleep with my radio playing, so the entire time I could hear Free Bird blaring throughout the dream.
